I've run into quite a few system administrators in my career, and it seems the field attracts some very good people, and some very bad people... Buddy Bear, I'm afraid that you sound like you're one of the very bad people. It seems to me that the role of the system administrator is to provide service for the user community, and that includes complying with user requests as quickly as reasonable, and providing information quickly. The original request was not at all unusual, unreasonable, or absurd; the restoral of archived files is a perfectly reasonable request of a system administrator. If I were in a hiring or firing position over someone who called a user who requested a file be restored a "bozo," that person would get their walking papers no matter how well they did the rest of their job. -- James C Armstrong, Jr | Sredni Vashtar went forth james@sagarmatha.com | His jaws were red, his teeth were white jca@netcom.com | His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death.
